True, though I have my questions about what it was holden hated
there, i'll look it up.
but it's necessarily the most important to this teachers question. I
was more useing Holden to illustrate my point about "christian
standard" being too diverse, but rather "christ standard" being much
different.
personally, I agree that the question "SUX" the hard one. But it's
no big surprise somebody would get that question. On explaining
CitR to my class, my dear old english teacher, Ludmilla, had to first
inform us that it was "blasphemous" and then went on to tell us that
Slaughter-House 5 was mainly a "man's book" and the girls in the
class should probably not read it (exactly how she came to that
conclusion I have NO idea actually. maybe it's my limited brain
capacity but I really didn't see anything in SH5 that should even
have scared dear old Ludmilla so bad). We weren't actually assigned
those books. The school said they had to be available but she
STRONGLY recommended we read The Great Gatsby and To Kill a
Mockingbird instead.
